I tell everyone this all the time. The aristocrats were just up in Ohio a few months ago I guess it was and I could just kick myself for a week for not knowing, one day I will get to see him.
mostly just technique,,,he aint no jeff kollman,,,give edwin dare a listen,,or cosmosquad,,,guthrie is a ripper,,,but kollman has all the heart & soul,,and feelings of the best
I wonder if Guthrie ever gets up in a morning and thinks “oh I really can’t do this today” I don’t think I’ve ever seen him looking as if he would rather be somewhere else doing, something else. Totally amazing. Definitely the best as far as I’m concerned.
👉🏼👉🏼😎😎I now have to decide who to 'shift down a spot' in my 'top 5 guitarists list', as Guthrie's #1.....and justifiably so....to call this 'MONSTROUS TALENT' great, is SUCH an understatement.....any genre, incredible technical facility, feel, emotion, tone, and so humble......truly gifted, and truly deserving of these accolades and praise....BREATHTAKING!!!😎😎👈🏼👈🏼
Rick Beato is right when he says that the greatest guitar virtuosos that have ever played are alive now, and all the most complex stuff that has ever been played is being played now, and Govan is up there with the top five in the world. This dude can just put his left hand in any position he wants in a snap. I guess that's what you get when you start playing the guitar at three years of age. There is bound to be some dude out there, who drives a bus for a living, but makes Govan look like a dufus on the guitar, but he's happy to just keep driving his bus and playing at home.
IMO Govan is large part of virtuoso playing right now. I use to buy Guitar Techniques magazine every month in the early 90's, it came with a lesson and CD that had his playing and the backing track to jam over as well. In the late 90's when the internet starting blowing up, after I had learned so much from him over the years, I knew that the amount of talent was going to explode exponentially.. In a click of a button you could see all of his playing and gain access to all of the written music/tabs. I was definitely right in my assumption. I remember about ten/twelve years ago, that all of the sudden the amount of players and the amount of talent just exploded, almost overnight it seemed. Many of them influenced by Guthrie.
It could be a mistake at 0:23, the dead note. But I think it was intentional. Just didn't sound quite right to me. He used the same technique a few seconds before, but it was cleaner.
"It's like that Mark Knopler thing, you know." Yeah, except it's a billion times faster while every note is crystal clear. Mark can't do what you do, GG. No one can.
Well certainly we have our own at Indian that's why we're human beings, yet me and myself I don't hear it or see it that way I feel lots of soul and passion along with the shredding
Your channel is very specific, you convey the same vibe as mine, I love anime in general, at the same time I am a jazz fusion guitarist... this is very peculiar (I think), congratulations, I ask you to continue with you channel
A very very good guitarist! However, I think he should take some lessons from Matteo Mancuso on how to perform Jeff Beck's song, the last one wrote by Stevie Wonder.
the "reason" i've stopped watching and listening to Guthrie, is that he playes so good,it makes me feel bad.....although i'm not.....soo....sorry Guthrie.
I know where you're coming from man, but there's a way that you could actually let it inspire you to get better, even if you don't get as good as him it could inspire you to get way better than you are, I felt the same way when I saw Eric Johnson in concert in San Diego in the early 2000s but then I went home that night and stayed up all night and practiced on my S.G without the amplifier because my roommates was sleeping and I stayed up till dawn just trying to do some of the things that he did
Stunning technical player, but only a small portion of the population (guitar geeks) will appreciate him, or pay to see him play. Most people don't like music like this. Sort of like Steve Vai...good technician, but his music is mostly just a vehicle to show of his technical ability. And Vai complains that his music isn't played on the radio. It's because your songs suck Steve. People don't want to hear it.
There's really some truth in it. As a guitarist myself I can appreciate the virtuosity of players like them but often the compositions/pieces are boring and they give me nothing - emotionaly. They don't touch me. I always thought and say fast fingers alone don't make it.
Considering how much he can shred, I don't think he overplays a lot. I get what you're saying though. He has a favorite fast run and he revisits it a lot.
I guess to each his own, but otherwise You're crazy as hell. Dude is a maestro..... It's not only the shredding and weird passing note thing, it's those things combined with insanely good right hand time, and overall versatility.... Go listen to him play chet Atkins style, or modern chicken pickin' hybrid stuff, or straight jazz, or heavier rock, or blues, he's fucking awesome at every style I've heard him approach. . He reminds me of Django in a fusion type of context. Powerful and dissonantly-pleasing ear grabbing licks and then soul lines, and then subtle lines around other players or filling tracks.... Having worked around several world-famous guitar players I can tell you with certainty he's amazing and furthermore highly regarded by others considered to be world class themselves. I toured for a guitarist band on vai's favored nations label as well as worked for PRS doing the experience tour with a signature model prs artist (Johnny Hiland) ...... I know some guitar players, Guthrie govan is a mega-beast from the 9th circle of hell as guitarists go.
its not a race... i love Guthrie as a person, but his playing is just fast licks played perfectly, like a prepogrammed MIDI stuff on a computer, i miss the person inside it.
